These Terms of Use ("Terms") were last updated on June 2022.
Teachingly’s mission is to make it easier to improve lives through online learning. We enable anyone anywhere to create and share educational courses (instructor/teacher) and to enroll in these educational courses to learn (student). We need rules to keep our platform and services safe for you, us and our student and instructor/teacher community. These Terms apply to all your activities on the Teachingly website, the Teachingly applications, our APIs and other related services (“Services”). If you publish a course on the Teachingly platform, you must also agree to the Instructor/Teacher Terms. We also provide details regarding our processing of personal data of our students and instructors in our Privacy Policy.
You need an account for most activities on our platform. Keep your password somewhere safe, because you’re responsible for all activity associated with your account. If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country to use Teachingly.
You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and enroll in a course or to submit a course for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.
You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and Teachingly will not intervene in disputes between students or teachers who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.
Students and teachers must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on Teachingly and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you enroll in courses that are appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a Teachingly account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor/Teacher Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit a course for publication on Teachingly.
You can terminate your account at any time by contacting our Support.
When you enroll in a course, you get a license from us to view it via the Teachingly Services and no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell courses in any way. We grant you a lifetime access license, except when we must disable the course because of legal or policy reasons.
Under our Instructor/Teacher Terms, when instructors publish a course on Teachingly, they grant Teachingly a license to offer a license to the course to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the course to the students who enroll in the course. As a student, when you enroll in a course, whether it’s a free or paid course, you are getting a license from Teachingly to view the course via the Teachingly platform and Services, and Teachingly is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the course in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the course and sharing it on torrent sites).
In legal, more complete terms, Teachingly grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and associated content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with a particular courses or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any course unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a Teachingly authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.
We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use courses at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a course due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine its content violates our any trust and safety guidelines. The lifetime access is not applicable to add-on features and services associated with a course. For example, translation captions of courses may be disabled by instructors at any time, and instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with a course. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.
Teachers may update course content over the time. We cannot guarantee that you will have access to the same content as it was at the time of your order.
When you make a payment to create an Instructor/Teacher account, you agree to use a valid payment method. If you aren’t happy for any reason, Teachingly offers refund according to the refund policy agreed at the time of purchase. We may also try to offer you another product to save the refund which would be your decision to accept or not. Once conditions set in refund policy are expired, for example no. of days passed since the account was opened, Teachingly will refuse any refunds. Students cannot request refund form Teachingly since we do not charge students. More details on this can be found in Instructor/Teacher Terms section.
Teachingly does not control course prices, it is up to the instructor/teacher. We may set up minimum and maximum amount at which a course can be sold on our platform.
You agree to pay the fees for courses that you purchase, and you authorize instructor/teacher to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment for those fees. We do not process your payments. Payments are processed by third party applications set by instructor/teacher. When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. We reserve the right to disable access to any course for which instructor/teacher not received adequate payment upon his/her request. Instructor/teacher should email student a clear refund policy and other terms they would like student to be aware of immediately after a student has made an order.
If as a student, the course you purchased is not what you were expecting, you should contact instructor/teacher. For the instructor/teacher, if we ban your account or disable your access to a course due to your violation of any of our terms, you will not be eligible eligible to receive a refund.
An Instructor/teachers may offer discount to students by reducing the price of the course from time to time and offering coupon codes at their leisure.

If you are an instructor, you can submit courses for publication on the platform and you can also communicate with the students who have enrolled in your courses through your own communication channels.

You are solely responsible for any courses, content, and actions you post or take via the platform and Services and their consequences.

Teachingly complies with copyright laws.
Teachingly has discretion in enforcing all such Terms. We may terminate or suspend your permission to use our platform and Services or ban your account at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason, including for any violation of these Terms, if you fail to pay any fees when due, upon the request of law enforcement or government agencies, for extended periods of inactivity, for unexpected technical issues or problems, or if we suspect that you engage in fraudulent or illegal activities, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Upon any such termination we may delete your account and content, and we may prevent you from further access to the platforms and use of our Services. Your content may still be available to students on the platforms even if your account is terminated or suspended. You agree that we will have no liability to you or any third party for termination of your account, removal of your content, or blocking of your access to our platforms and services.

You also waive any rights of privacy, publicity, or other rights of a similar nature applicable to all these uses, to the extent permissible under applicable law. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power, and authority necessary to authorize us to use any content that you submit.

Anyone over the age of 18 can use Teachingly to create and publish courses and instructors and we enable instructors and students to interact for teaching and learning. Like other platforms where people can post content and interact, some things can go wrong, and you use Teachingly at your own risk.
Our platform model means we do not review or edit the courses for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of course content. We do not exercise any editorial control over the courses that are available on the platform and, as such, do not guarantee in any manner the reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness of the courses. If you enroll in a course, you rely on any information provided by an instructor at your own risk.
By using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you consider offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your enrollment in a course.

Even if we are delayed in exercising our rights or fail to exercise a right in one case, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future. If we decide to waive any of our rights in a particular instance, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights generally or in the future.
It may happen that our platform is down, either for planned maintenance or because something goes down with the site.
